Wondering how to prepare for the GED Test? PBS LiteracyLink's GED Connection is a stand-alone multimedia learning system that helps adult learners advance toward their GED and improve skills needed at the workplace. Combining video programs, print, and online computer technology, GED Connection helps learners develop strategies and practice for success on the GED 2002 exam and beyond.

GED Connection combines

• 39 video programs, broadcast by Public Television stations or available as videotapes
• 3 student workbooks covering Reading/Writing, Social Studies/Science, and Math
• 5 interactive online learning modules, with practice tests, online activities and quizzes for each GED Connection lesson.

These integrated multimedia components work together to make studying for the GED easy for a busy adult who needs to work at his or her own pace.

Use GED Connection at home, at work, at the library, or your local adult education center. You can view the lessons on your local on UNC-TV, record these lessons, and use the videotapes to study at home. Many local adult education programs, community colleges, one-stop career centers, or libraries have GED Connection videos and books available, with classes and teachers to help you, too. You can register for a free portfolio and use GED practice tests and quizzes with automatic scoring and feedback, plus extensive learning modules for each of the five GED subject areas. Online teachers from several states are available to coach adult learners in virtual classrooms. You can order GED Connection workbooks to use at home or ask for them at an adult education center or library near you.

Videos
Engaging documentary-style videos introduce content and give learners a chance to hear from experts in various fields. Students hear and see how the skills they are learning for the GED exam relate to work, home, and community life. All 39 half-hour programs are available on VHS tape, individually packaged with lesson-specific descriptions and time-coded listings for program highlights.

Practice Tests
LiteracyLink practice tests are not the "Official Practice Test," but they were created from the same pool of questions provided by the GED Testing service. Half the length of the OPT, they were designed to help you plan how to use the GED Connection learning activities to improve your skills and knowledge for the GED test. The online practice tests are scored automatically and you will give you immediate feedback as to what was wrong and why.
